    When you say "root user", do you mean the username "root"? That doesn't look like "root", this does; [root@server1 ~]# id root uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=968(mysyslog),0(root)

    a sudo user can execute commands, as root, in command line, but can't log in to WHM.

    Why don't you just change root password and log in as root? :rolleyes:

    When you are in SSH as a sudo user, you do: sudo passwd root you give the password 2 times, and after that you can log in to WHM as root.
